Hello List, I sent the following to the list on October 28, 2001 and while digging through papers tonight I found an answer to my question: >>Can anyone tell me who Sarah C. Harkey is? She married James P. ( I think this stands for Perry) Stafford, age 39, on 24 November, 1868 in Yell County. She was age 27 and would have been born about 1841. I do not find any a Sarah C. born about 1841 in any of my Harkey information and I do not find any Sarah C. in my file who married a Stafford.<< This is Sarah Ann Catherine Harkey, daughter of Moses. M. Harkey and wife, Eleanor Fink Harkey. In an old letter from Rosco Harkey Sr. to O. B. Harkey, dated 20 April 1955, Roscoe says he has information sent to his brother, Olga John Harkey, Sr., in 1948. This came from A. R. Stafford who had died within the past year (1954). Roscoe said he assumed the information came from A. R. Stafford's mother's Bible. A . R. Stafford was a son of Sarah Ann Catherine Harkey Stafford and A. R. said his mother was the daughter of Moses M. Harkey. This is the information Roscoe assumed A. R. Stafford took from his mother's Bible, and sent to Rosco Harkey's brother: "Great grandfather of yours and mine Viz: Jacob Harkey lived in Stanley Co. NC. Had (5) five sons Viz: Tice, Levi (grandfather), Jacob, Eli, Mose, and daughters Betsy, Sallie, Poley, Julia, Easter and one other who married Abraham Dye. I did not get her given name. Brothers: Tice moved to San Saba, Texas; Levi (grandfather) moved from NC to Harkey's Valley; Eli died in Harkey's Valley, Yell Co., AR.; Mose died in Harkey's Valley, Yell Co., AR.; Jacob, their brother, my Great Uncle, died in NC." This information from A. R. Stafford, and assumed to have come from his mother's bible, does not match the children we have for Jacob Harkey. Where do we go from here?? Need some feedback on this please. Another thing in this letter that I did not have, and do not know if the rest of you do is: Eleanor Fink, born 16 May 1817. Also, I have a marriage date in my file of 28 Sept. 1838 for Mose & Eleanor, but this letter has it as: Sept. 7, 1838. Does anyone have the actual record on that marriage? Flora
